As a kid, I never imagined life being hard…From riding bikes all day… To play fighting my siblings in the yard.Everything seemed sweet, no complaints, living lifeNot realizing one lost can really change your life.But wait… Who would’ve ever thought death existed?Just a baby on the kitchen floor not knowing life could get twisted…Twisted… wicked real quick.From a baby to a man, just imagine how the shoes fitBig, bulky, I tripped a few times and still got upBut that’s the true meaning of life… Never give up.
